SUMMARY:LILI AÑEL IN COLLINGSWOOD
DESCRIPTION:Pianist Suzzette Ortiz proudly hosts “Jazz in the Wood\,” at the \nCollingswood Community Center\, \n30 Collings Ave\, Collingswood\, NJ 08108. \nPlease join us on December 4th\, 2025\, as we welcome Lili Añel and their group. \nDoors at 7pm. The concert starts at 7:30 pm and ends at 9:00 pm. \nTickets: $15 in advance\, $20 at the door. Students are FREE! \nAbout Lili:\nLili Añel considers music a calling. This striking six-foot tall singer-songwriter-musician grew up in New York City’s Spanish Harlem\, where she discovered her passion for music. As a child\, Lili remembers singing along to her mother’s Cuban\, jazz and pop-standard albums. It was also her mother who supported Lili’s desire to join the church choir. However\, it was her Afro-Cuban grandfather’s recognition of how much joy her singing brought others\, being the voice that stood out in that choir\, which served to set her feet firmly on the path of a career in music. \nAfter establishing a music career and a large following in New York in the vibrant 1980s Greenwich Village singer-songwriter scene\, she relocated to Philadelphia in 2004. It was from her new home base where she continued to move audiences with her songs\, now more jazz-inspired\, highlighting themes reflecting her hope for the future\, standing in her truth of life’s difficulties and conjuring the strength for perseverance. All delivered with that unique voice\, alternating between low reaches one feels in their center and a sweeter\, more vulnerable falsetto. \n“Think Joan Armatrading\, Joni Mitchell and Nina Simone all rolled into one…blurs the lines between Jazz\, Folk and intelligent Pop…strong and heartfelt.” – Ken Franckling’s Jazz Notes

SUMMARY:Back To My Roots: A Terrence L. Gore Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition can be viewed during open hours in the historic Bartram House as a part of the following events: Twilight in the Garden on 10/3\, Indigenous Peoples Day Celebration on  10/12\, and Harvest Fest on 10/19. \n  \n“A Creative Story of Survival \nMy family migrated here from Savannah\, GA in 1967. Terrence L. Gore\, a Geechee boy. \nWe moved into Bartram Village in 1971. \nBartram’s Garden was my backyard\, a clothes line\, fashion inspiration\, and sanctuary green space. \nIt was far too easy for me to squeeze my slight body through the fence that surrounded the Garden then and cross the tracks which separated the Village from the Garden. I would seek out and explore nature as a child to discover the world of natural wonders: seeds\, herbs\, fruits\, specimens\, animals\, the river\, and hills\, etc. \nI was amazed by John Bartram’s house\, which we could only visit from the outside when I was growing up. The architecture was astonishing. I wanted to know what was in such a structure that is so pristine – yet so private to me at times. For 50-plus years\, I have had the experience of this land. \nInterestingly enough\, John Bartram and I share so much in common; botanists and creators. Although our mediums and collections are different – our missions are similar. \nI use my art as a teaching tool\, telling stories of natural beauty; a survival tool as medicine for the soul. \nTwenty years ago\, upon my diagnosis with PML (Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy)\, and a month stay in the hospital\, I had to make a huge decision. HOW WAS I GOING TO LIVE MY LIFE – MOVING FORWARD? After I was discharged from the hospital I went back “home” to Bartram’s Garden to do some soul searching. \nIt was then that pieces of natural mediums caught my eye and began to speak to me. I started to create artworks from my soul; works that are difficult to describe at times where the completed images come alive and are seemingly looking right back at me. \nMost recently\, after two months and a few days in the hospital\, 6/15/2025 – 8/21/2025\, I am making a speedy recovery. I’m excited to share these works & my story and hope that it will bring the Garden alive for those who visit in new and wonderful ways.”

DESCRIPTION:SHARP’s Fall Season promises a dynamic and emotionally rich lineup\, featuring a powerful mix of fan favorites from the past 20 years alongside exciting new works. The program will include “669\,” a moving tribute inspired by Sir Nicholas Winton and the 669 children he rescued from the Holocaust\, as well as excerpts from “Aquarian Exposition\,” which celebrates the spirit of the iconic hippie era. Audiences will also experience the world premiere of “DNA – Part 1: Ireland\,” marking an exciting new direction for SHARP’s repertoire and the beginning of a six-year creative journey by Artistic Director Diane Sharp-Nachsin as she explores her heritage through the lens of her own DNA.\nAdding to the excitement\, SHARP Alumni Dancers will return to the stage to perform a brand-new piece and SHARP will be celebrating our dancer Miguel Quiñones who is retiring after 12 years with the company. The performance will open with several standout works\, including “Blind Faith – Part 3\,” a signature piece that encapsulates SHARP’s powerful style\, the playful and witty “Roller Coaster Rules.”

SUMMARY:Back To My Roots: A Terrence L. Gore Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition can be viewed during open hours in the historic Bartram House as a part of the following events: Twilight in the Garden on 10/3\, Indigenous Peoples Day Celebration on  10/12\, and Harvest Fest on 10/19. \n  \n“A Creative Story of Survival \nMy family migrated here from Savannah\, GA in 1967. Terrence L. Gore\, a Geechee boy. \nWe moved into Bartram Village in 1971. \nBartram’s Garden was my backyard\, a clothes line\, fashion inspiration\, and sanctuary green space. \nIt was far too easy for me to squeeze my slight body through the fence that surrounded the Garden then and cross the tracks which separated the Village from the Garden. I would seek out and explore nature as a child to discover the world of natural wonders: seeds\, herbs\, fruits\, specimens\, animals\, the river\, and hills\, etc. \nI was amazed by John Bartram’s house\, which we could only visit from the outside when I was growing up. The architecture was astonishing. I wanted to know what was in such a structure that is so pristine – yet so private to me at times. For 50-plus years\, I have had the experience of this land. \nInterestingly enough\, John Bartram and I share so much in common; botanists and creators. Although our mediums and collections are different – our missions are similar. \nI use my art as a teaching tool\, telling stories of natural beauty; a survival tool as medicine for the soul. \nTwenty years ago\, upon my diagnosis with PML (Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy)\, and a month stay in the hospital\, I had to make a huge decision. HOW WAS I GOING TO LIVE MY LIFE – MOVING FORWARD? After I was discharged from the hospital I went back “home” to Bartram’s Garden to do some soul searching. \nIt was then that pieces of natural mediums caught my eye and began to speak to me. I started to create artworks from my soul; works that are difficult to describe at times where the completed images come alive and are seemingly looking right back at me. \nMost recently\, after two months and a few days in the hospital\, 6/15/2025 – 8/21/2025\, I am making a speedy recovery. I’m excited to share these works & my story and hope that it will bring the Garden alive for those who visit in new and wonderful ways.”
